Fleurieu Here Comes The Flood Cask Strength Single Malt (70cl, 58.7%)

Here Comes The Flood is a cask strength Australian single malt from Fleurieu Distillery in Goolwa, South Australia. It takes its name from the Peter Gabriel song. The whisky is made from local barley, distilled in copper pot stills and matured in heavily charred Australian red wine casks close to the Southern Ocean. It is bottled unfiltered at 58.7% ABV in a 70cl bottle. The nose brings dark fruit compote, burnt caramel, red liquorice and scorched oak, with a smoky brine beneath. On the palate there is black cherry, molasses, roasted nuts and warm spice, with firm tannin and a juicy mid-palate. The finish is long and drying, with cacao, peppercorn, black tea and a maritime note.
